Finding The Holiday Spirit Or Spirit In The Holiday's

(I'm feeling happy)

I've been amazed lately where and how I have found the holiday spirit. It's been in little places no one thinks of. It's a smile from a stranger. A hug from a dear one (related or not) a cuddle from your pet, just to name a few.

Yesterday after a rather exhausting and a little exasperating shopping. I've noticed a lot of grinch like behavior around here too....my husband and I decided to have a very late lunch at a Chinese place on the parkway. It's one we have been too many times. The people are wonderful and the food always fresh and good. I know that is amazing with so many buffets cropping up and all. The China Star ROCKS!

We were greeted warmly on a very cold day and took our seats not noticing much but the smell of the food and how quickly we could get plates filled. Upon sitting down I realized that something was oddly familiar. I didn't ponder on it and started in on my egg drop soup and noodles. I was famished! Then, as I had finished I got the same feeling. Warm, happy, familiar and took a little time to start digesting not only the meal but what was going on with me.

Then I listened to the music being played. Do You Hear What I Hear came on. Something in that just set my heart aglow! Something in my past was calling too me. Something from many Christmas's Past.

As I ate the feeling grew and grew! Boundless happiness and familiaratity! The food was so good, the place warm and welcoming, the music filling my heart because I figured it out! The music was from my past! The singers from the 50's and 60's. Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Burl Ives, Nat King Cole and Julie Andrews! Yep, song I had grown up hearing on the old stero my father had built from a kit! I was making contact with Christmas Past to heal Christmas Present and Future!

In a Chinese Resturant on the 21st of December, 2008 I healed a lot of heartache, unrealistic expectations and found the true meaning of the season. For in my heart lives people, places and circumstances that needed healing after years of not dealing with them all. This year I have found that what is in your heart matters most. I am thankful for all the wonderful things I have gotten over the years. The people that enriched my life. Although, my father and grandmother have passed. It's what they left in my heart that matters, which is a lot. Love, happiness, caring to name but a few. I'm greatful for all of it. Good, Bad or indifferent it all matters and it's what you do with it that matters most. I choose a light path and try to meash good and bad and indifferent together to make a healthy happy outcome. That is magick for sure! So I have learned something. I have learned a lot. To put the past what ever it is behind me lovingly, positively and look toward a wonderful happy future and live in the present. The present being fleeting so live with gusto! In the blink of an eye it will be the past!

I also wanted to make reference to the movie, A Christmas Story. The one about the little boy that wanted a bee bee gun for Christmas. At the end of the story the family feast was eaten by a pack of neighbor dogs and they had to go to a Chinese place and have duck for Christmas. It really didn't matter they were all together. That is another true meaning of the season. To prize what and who you have and let go with peace love and light what you don't and who you don't. It all happens for a reason and someday, when you least expect it. You'll know why, what and smile. I just wanted you to know I know what Ralphies family did. Also you get your answers and reasons in mysterious ways and me getting what I did from eating at the China Star was not only timely but very much needed! Happy Holidays To Everyone! Love, Rose
